I started Tuesday on this 16x16 shack I'm putting up on the far end of my place. Nothing fancy pretty rough just want something to get out of the weather then I'm here. This area gets snowed in so will be a nice wintah retreat.
All the windows, timber, tin for roof, have not cost me anything the OSB, nails and wrap I had to buy. I'm hoping by after today I have the 3 4x6 windows in and wrap installed to protect from the elements. Tomorrow I'm taking the day off my hands hurt and this old body needs a day of rest. Here are few pics from inside.

Nicely done. Much more than a shack.

Nice! Some of them old cross arms will last forever! A coworker built a bar in his basement out of them.

Nice job and good space. Lots of heat loss with all that glass IMO.

Got some more done today didn't seem like much but it was a catchup day but all those little things take time. I went over to a locally rancher he said he has tin for the roof. I went ovah there and he has a lot of tin. Lol All 14-foot pieces. I will have to cut them and not sure if I should cut them 8 foot and have a 6 or do 7 and have two 7foot. I need 8 foot lengths??

I'm not concerned about heat lose I still can go for the day get out of the weather and stay warm. I have another 16x10 with huge windows in it also.
It heats up fast. Big windows help in winter also to heat up inside.

It is at is a small edge split by a finger from the large ranch.
I think I answered the questions. I'm taking tomorrow off need to get some other things done and will hitter Monday and all of next week.

The shack is coming along pretty good. Got roof tinned, facia, soffit windows are done. I have cedar 1/2x6x6 for siding, a door and stove to get done. I have wrapped it so if I don't get back right away it is weatherproof. I got the cedar post from the ranch land set in also. I have 40 hours of labor in it for six days. My hands are tired so will take a few days off.
